Article ID: Q136536

The information in this article applies to:
  • Microsoft SQL Server, version 6.0
BUG# NT: 10340 (6.00)

SYMPTOMS

On Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0, a SELECT INTO from a table with an identity column when the set IDENTITY_INSERT option is ON can cause a handled access violation (AV).

The AV will not occur when the IDENTITY_INSERT option is switched OFF.

WORKAROUND

  • Set the IDENTITY_INSERT option OFF before performing the SELECT-INTO.

OR
  • Perform an INSERT by issuing a SELECT from the source to the destination table.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Microsoft SQL Server version 6.0. This problem was corrected in Service Pack 2 for SQL Server version 6.0. For more information, contact your primary support provider.
